Mundane, ennui, meh.
I have a confession to make. I've been collecting all of the papers I've been handed since the beginning of the year. I used to put them in the recycling bin or trash, but now I save them. I either put them under my laptop to increase it's height because it was too low and hurt my neck, or use them as scrap paper for practicing kanji.

About Me
- Greg
- Hi, I'm Greg, but you can call me by my Japanese name, Gureggu, if you'd like. I'm writing this blog to explain effective ways to do business with Japan and Japanese companies. Why? Japanese companies are notoriously difficult to understand, and doing business in Japan has a unique set of hurdles.
Why I'm qualified to write about Japan: I have worked in Japan for a total of 8 years. I worked sales at a Japanese import/export company (subsidiary of a much larger corporation) as the only foreigner in the company. Before that, I taught for 2 years at High Schools and 3 years teaching elementary and middle school in Aomori Prefecture. I have lived the life of a salaryman and experienced firsthand the institutions that shape Japanese people in their most formative years.
